  • ElectricSunset1 keisou-P (@ElectricSunset1) reported

    @PunkboyParadise I have a character named Meilin who's definitely inspired by Mei from Overwatch so I just really hope I can make her distinct enough that she's not so much of an expy that I get into trouble for plagiarism, if I ever start releasing OC stories.

  • accureye fa_eye (@accureye) reported

    so yeah @PlayOverwatch you have a problem and that is letting DPS role Times be up to 20 plus mins please fix this and make people less likely to pick DPS or at least make them less than a 8 min wait #Overwatch #FaEyeGaming

  • dub1ino dysfunctional (@dub1ino) reported

    overwatch players stfu challenge. are y’all seriously complaining abt MERCY DAMAGE BOOST??? bffr, find real issues with the game. you people will complain abt anything. even if they remove damage boost you’ll just complain abt whatever they replace it with. 😐

  • OnlyinSpawn CampingInMySpawn (@OnlyinSpawn) reported

    Alright guys. I have been pondering about stuff, walking, food, but most importantly… Overwatch 2’s current balancing issues, so I thought of a idea to return the game back to its former glory! - Increase Winston’s health from 200 to 1200

  • DemocraticSteak Steak (@DemocraticSteak) reported

    @CordellAndreWi2 @ItsSomjuu Your only issue is the balancing. Give me one example of Overwatch ever once being balanced. You cannot because it and every other fps game int eh history of the world has been unbalanced. The game was not balanced in 6v6 that’s a laughable statement

  • Veeluminati sacred divinity 可流フ (@Veeluminati) reported

    The Switch isn't a strong console, no one is disputing this, but I can play Apex and Overwatch straight for hours before those games crash. Even if it needs to drop to 30fps and is set to medium or low graphics, I'd rather the game be in a stable state.

  • Kikspie Luna (Kiks) (@Kikspie) reported

    Help I'm already level 65 in the season 2 overwatch 2 battlepass😳 I haven't even bought any levels... Do I have a problem?

  • aetheIstan siren (@aetheIstan) reported

    idk if this is just a me problem but i cant save overwatch highlights on xbox. i haven’t been able to since the game came out…

  • systim30 Systim30 (@systim30) reported

    @Jay3OW The community from overwatch is just as toxic as mk11. You play a support Ppl scream "they aren't healing" Scoreboard says different And just because someone can heal.. does not make them a healer... You want to fix overwatch.. Start with yourselves first

  • Joeym45990221 Joey m (@Joeym45990221) reported

    @BlizzardCS I’m in Charlotte NC and I haven’t been able to get on overwatch 2 since yesterday. It’s been 24 hours and nothing. There’s no update, and no WiFi issue on my end. Why can’t I join and when is this going to be fixed? I thought it’d be done by now honestly

  • LakerFern ًً (@LakerFern) reported

    Overwatch is kinda dogshit right now I might just stop playing ranked until they fix this **** lol

  • saiint Luke Rogers (@saiint) reported

    @KhaleesiBB Refusing to taxi mercy otps is a service to the overwatch community

  • jayyem_ gerardo.✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿 (@jayyem_) reported

    This overwatch patch is not it. Fix your matchmaking it’s either steamroll or be steamrolled

  • chambers_jax Green (@chambers_jax) reported

    @ItsSomjuu Back when it was 6v6 I didn't know why I was hating overwatch but when the beta for 2 came out and I played it I realized what the problem was real fast. I could actually complete a full match without getting bored cuz I'm to busy shooting at shields.

  • Skinnyicon1 🌸☀️Adiris☀️🌸 (@Skinnyicon1) reported

    @kuribohttv @Niandra_ The biggest gag is nobody ever said THAT in all the years of overwatch. My issue is people pick and choose. All these years it was only her healing and rez nerfed. Yet now everyone thinks her Dmg boost is so op. Just doesn’t add up. It’s been the same for ages why now?

  • ohlaike 🦉 (@ohlaike) reported

    bro can overwatch please fix pinned replays I just want to be able to unpin the ones I don’t need anymore lol

  • Bensam123TV Sam Adams (@Bensam123TV) reported

    W11 doesn't fix this. Chipset drivers don't fix this. Turning off CPPC and CPPC-PC does, but then games are just all over your cores and slow cores. It makes synthetic benchmarks look worse, but synth marks don't matter anyway. You can see/feel this in Overwatch and Warzone.

  • Robertc07675138 Robert cline (@Robertc07675138) reported

    @Overbuff Can't link my account for some reason. Tag is Bigtuna04#1925. I'm also getting this error Unable to communicate with Overwatch, please try again. [PABF4] thanks for your help.

  • xjosuecastro Josue 👓 (@xjosuecastro) reported

    @Tabithabrownx its simply because they removed the Find Group feature that was once in Overwatch. It completely destroys the social/meeting new friends aspect of the game which is why I don't play it as much now :( @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS Fix this 😭

  • addietood addie🥀average #twinston enjoyer🐒 (@addietood) reported

    do people actually think mercy is broken in overwatch that's a skill issue there's no way

  • ChumaPG Chuma (@ChumaPG) reported

    @Nivsick @DUSKdev @GetGianni QC in game design is good, it's a good AFPS in a current era, tho the problem it's the same as Lawbreakers, it received an overwatch label when OW was in its prime, the saber engine didn't help it, it was heavy to gain all champions, so in the end I'd just hop in Quakeworld.

  • joshua_sersich Krusty Krustacean (@joshua_sersich) reported

    @kitsua_ this isn’t a bungie issue? i like calling out bungie on their ****, but this is pretty common in ALL multiplayer online games. Fortnite skins? $10-20 a piece. Overwatch skins? $20 a piece. d2 actually has one of the better micro transaction models because of bright dust.

  • Real_Jaggi ***** (@Real_Jaggi) reported

    Was trying to login to my battle net account to link my Overwatch accounts and like twenty minutes after I finished I just got a texts saying “Your account has been locked. Visit Account Management to unlock it. - Blizzard Entertainment” like wtf lmao

  • StarcasM85 StarcasM (@StarcasM85) reported

    @Lord_Negatron Yeah, I'm having issues, but from what it seems, the issue is with 40 series cards, I've seen others had no issues. I just kept it pushing & played some Overwatch.

  • Maximas52 Maximas5 (@Maximas52) reported

    Reinstalling windows in the hopes that this will keep overwatch from crashing my gpu. If this doesn’t work it’s likely a hardware issue :/

  • Geeil_ Geeil (@Geeil_) reported

    Is anyone elea having troubles streaming overwatch? It keeps skyrocking in memory space whenever I get into a game making my **** crash

  • KixxPup KixxPup (@KixxPup) reported

    @BlizzardCS I'm having an issue where on Overwatch where I get kicked off the servers and disconnected from the internet ONLY when I play with friends this has been happening since launch. I also get an error (LC-202) I’ve also tried looking glass but it’s confusing (I’m on PS5)

  • CafeColdBrew Cold Brew (@CafeColdBrew) reported

    anyone else having issues with overwatch on console?

  • MeatCuddle Meatcuddle | Competetive Arc (@MeatCuddle) reported

    Playing Overwatch, OBS crashes twice. Playing animal crossing… 0 times. I think OBS is taking too much memory and I don’t know how to fix that. Anyway… we got some cute new villagers and the new island is lookin sweet. Just like the person we raided @ItsIanWatson <— go follow!

  • hamtaro_jin brian⁷ 🌊 (@hamtaro_jin) reported

    So now I have another dude on my *** over not playing with him on overwatch like wtf is this? If I just don't feel like playing with you and you take it personal that is NOT my problem bc you're getting attached for no reason
